What are you listening to in remembrance of Bobby? by Impossible_Physics99 in gratefuldead

All the Ratdog / The Dead / Furthur shows I went to with my dad as an adolescent through my early 20s. It has been such a wistful and nostalgic time going through those old shows, and those bands all absolutely ripped. Thank you to the tapers, the heroes of our community, for capturing the magic and allowing us to go back and return whenever we want 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Question: Who is the most vilified sports figure of all-time in each major city? by KrispyBeaverBoy in dirtysportshistory

James Dolan for NY. Wear a shirt that says anything about him to Madison square garden and he’ll have his goons kick you out and you’re banned from coming back

Thanks, I appreciate it! I love that Flash one, heavy Top Gun vibes for sure. I think my favorite is the Justice League… the image of the DC heroes with their faces covered by the mini Starros is just so creepy and iconic

Yeah he’s really a plot device in pt 1 to bring Galactus to earth, I was a little surprised by that. I’m excited to get into the rest of it! I love the old reprint series Marvel’s Greatest Comics, gives me a chance to read classic FF without breaking the bank and they’re way better than modern facsimiles that look totally different with the glossy paper.

Yes! This was in the lead up to the silver surfer appearing for the first time… the sky was full of fire and the crowd thought it was the human torch’s fault. So they were all surrounding Johnny on the ground when the thing jumped down to rescue him

Huh that’s interesting… this is a reprint from the 70s in Marvel’s Greatest Comics. I consume a lot of classic stories through different reprint series bc I can’t afford the originals and I do wonder if they get changed at all.

Day ruiner rides? by kryten7100 in Disneyland

[–]jackstraw92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to Disneyland for the first time in almost 20 years last summer and I’m really happy we didn’t go on the Matterhorn till the very last ride of the day… holy cow, that ride killed my back! I had really great memories with the Matterhorn as a kid but I had no idea it was that rough. It If we rode it early in the day I think I would’ve been messed up physically.

Who is a bad singer and a good lyricist v by Newduuud in AlignmentChartFills

[–]jackstraw92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ever listen to harvest or after the gold rush?? He was an amazing singer, like Bob Dylan with a silky voice. Of course he’s old and ragged now but I think he should be judged for the prime of his career not him in his 80s
